But who says this will always be the case? It's not unusual for a console to be tweaked or upgraded multiple times throughout its lifetime as new (cheaper) hardware becomes available. Because both consoles use fairly standard PC hardware, could Sony or Microsoft upgrade their consoles to close (or widen) the current performance gap?]]>http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/187536-could-microsoft-upgrade-the-xbox-ones-hardware-to-fix-the-ps4-performance-gap/feed398AMD’s Kaveri onslaught: New A10 & A8 APUs, better pricing, lower power consumptionhttp://www.extremetech.com/computing/187254-amds-kaveri-onslaught-new-apus-better-pricing-and-lower-power-consumption
